I arrived early morning for check in but the room was not available until 1 pm. They took good care of me, welcomed me with breakfast and allowed me to leave my luggage while I went out. When I arrived the room was not still available and since I was extremely exhausted they arranged me to go to another hotel (Capital Hotel) part of their properties and they were very nice and welcoming too. Thank you for going the extra mile and taking care of me the last day of my amazing vacation in Egypt

Really good hotel for the price. Is in the center of downtown. The staff is awesome people. They make you feel like family. The outside is not much to look at but considering the price you pay, you get more for your money. Not only do they provide breakfast but as a courtesy they cooked dinner for my boyfriend and I our last night there. BEBO was a wonderful host.

2/10 Poor

The hotel was so unexpected! We didn't even get the room we booked online, it didn't exist! Some of the staff were nice and welcoming, but the hotel is so old and dirty, everything was falling apart, the closets, the ceiling, the bathroom, even the windows were firmly closed except the one in the bathroom, where we could see the terrible view of garbage underneath us in the void between the two blocks. They even hung the washed towels over the window facing the garbage. The internet was terrible and there was no signal for our phones, the staff took 3 days to change a lightbulb so we had to open our flashlights to see (night and day).

No towel racks, No TP refills, No Hangers
We booked our hotel online for the Hotel Royal, but when our airport transfer picked us up from Cairo International, he told us that the owners just opened a new hotel, Capital Hotel and that our room had been changed to the new hotel (very close to the old). No problem, but we booked a suite and were only given a standard room. The hotel staff was nice, however. Onto the bad: There are no towel racks in the room. You are given only bath towels, we had to ask for an additional towel for the bathroom. You cannot hang your towel anywhere to dry (again, no towel racks). Internet only worked ~75% of the time Toilet would flush and then make loud, screeching noises for about 2 minutes. We "saved flushes" whenever appropriate. The hotel is not on Google Maps, so good luck with your Uber request or trying to find your way around. Luckily, it has a red & white awning that is quite distinctive, so you can usually find your way back, but nobody knows the hotel exists. Had to extend 1 night and the price changed from $20 to $30 per night. Sucks.

In a good location but nothing else is great
We stayed here only for a day so it was not that big problem but it was a bit disappointing. It is great to walk to different places in downtown but the hotel itself is in a deserted alley where cars can't go. The view from the balcony was of the same deserted alley and nothing to write home about. Towels and linen were damp and the bathroom door wouldn't close. The staff though was helpful and they did what they could given the circumstances.

No facilities provided as mention on internet.
Very bad experience. No transportation provided as promised. We were Forced to use public transport from airport to hotel and hotel to airport. An additional money were asked for devices. In breakfast we have to buy our own eggs. We stayed 4 days but room was never cleans neither bad sheet or trowel changed. We need to get our ow toilet tissue from facilities. We left with no choice but to stay once full payments were done. Internet service was very bad, there was weak coverage in side the room, to use WiFi we need to sit out side the room in lobby. It was not advisable for our females. You need to investigate before listing such type of hotels, its not a low rate, its about not fulfilling commitment as mention online booking such as: WiFi, decent breakfast or shetter sevice. It was noticed that other people were disappointed due to the same. It will damage Expedia image and trust. I am sure you will do the needful. Thank you for asking.

you will never find friendlier more helpful staff
Wasn't sure at first but then really settled in. The hotel is located in a pretty good location for shopping or site seeing trips. Sitting back a bit from the main streets made this a much quieter location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. You will never feel more welcome anywhere. Met some very nice fellow travellers and enjoyed sitting around in the morning sharing information about home life, other countries travelled or just the days plans. We had a wonderful Utime and will miss the staff and friendly travellers we met each day forward

Good location
The hotel is in a good downtown location. The rooms are clean and hotel staff very friendly. Breakfast could do with improving, it's very basic. The biggest problem with the hotel is noise. Half of the rooms are entered directly of the reception area, the noise from the hotel night staff is a problem.

Good Effort but Fell Incredibly Short
My boyfriend and I spent some time in Egypt and decided to stay at Hotel Royal in downtown. We opted to stay somewhere a bit cheaper as we'd plan on doing so many activities outside the hotel. Basically, you get what you pay for. Firstly, the beds are uncomfortable with springs stabbing you in your back but hopefully you will do enough activities, you'll be so exhausted, you'll sleep through the discomfort. There's no fitted sheet, just a low quality top sheet over the mattress that moved around the entire night annoyingly and a comforter. There also isn't a window, just shutters with a locking door so be prepared for the mosquitos. More importantly, the entrance isn't well secure or managed. The front door is always open which leads to the staircase to the individual rooms. Three seperate occassions I had a vendor follow me into the hotel trying to sale merchandise, which isn't safe at all. Theres no cafe or restaurant. The staff were kind and helpful to an extent. They make arrangements for tours but failed to provide us with an itinerary despite us asking numerous times or notify us of the additional fees for the types, which total roughly $200/pp. The last couple days we decided to take the Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor. We were charged a fee and despite our intakes, never received an itinerary or any kind of info. We didn't know the name of the boat, company for our tour guides, what time and where the tours where going on what day. Pay the extra money for elsewhere.

Awesome staff
I had a rough time in Cairo because I lost my papers and was stuck there for several days. I was lucky to have stayed in this hotel though. The staff were so kind and helpful. Said, the hotel owner, himself took me to the airport and helped me with the paperwork I had to go through, and Sam, the tour guide, even lent me cash when I was penniless, took me shopping, etc. I remember them fondly. Everyone was super nice and the breakfast was solid. Location-wise it's also great, right in the middle of downtown Cairo, and very affordable. It's the ideal place if you're on a budget, want to be in the heart of Cairo, and want to meet nice and friendly Egyptian folks.

It was an amazing hotel and the people are amazing
The hotel was so close to shopping and all the great sites. I would totally stay there again. The people are so nice and have a great personality. They made my stay very good even though I was alittle wildly crazy. But overall an amazing time. Thank you to the staff and the amazing 25 days.
